With a focus on FDA regulatory submissions, this panel discussion will provide context for what occurred in 2020 and early 2021, and provide forward-looking guidance and expectations for the remainder of the year. Will the rest of 2021 be smooth sailing or is there turbulence ahead? Our panel of esteemed regulatory experts, including former FDA CDRH representatives and regulatory leaders from multi-national medical device manufacturers, will discuss their thoughts on FDA focus areas, new guidance documents, and requirements on the way, along with the continued impact of COVID-19 on FDA resources and submission timelines. They’ll also react to FDA Director of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health Jeff Shuren’s presentation being held immediately prior.

• Judith E. O’Grady, RN,MSN,RAC – Corporate Vice President Global Regulatory Affairs, Integra LifeSciences

• Elijah Wreh – Elijah Industry Representative for FDA Neurological Advisory Committee Device Panel and Regulatory Affairs Manager, Zimmer Biomet
